That was an excellent one.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Hepworth's RESCUED BY ROVER was a smash hit. This short film of a dog that rescued the kidnapped baby was so successful that the camera negative wore out and had to be reshot twice. In addition, Hepworth made this sequel, rendering Rover the first true dog star, preceding Jean the Vitagraph Dog, Rin-Tin-Tin, Lassie, and all the other animal stars.In this one, Rover not only follows the kidnapper, running as fast as the auto the toddler is in, but when the villain stops and leaves the child in the car, Rover climbs in and drives the car back home! The movie goes on a bit long, both in the chase sequence and the part in which Rover drives the girl back home, but it is still startling to see how well they have done the job and I'm sure in 1908 the audience continued to chuckle throughout
